About
Haoyu Wei’s research work focuses on developing evidence-based strategies for urban stormwater management, particularly addressing the challenges related to both stormwater quality and quantity.
He completed his PhD in 2024, with research centred on gully pot systems. His work addressed the lack of performance benchmarks in current maintenance strategies by investigating long-term sediment accumulation and contaminant loads, and examining how these are influenced by varying urban anthropogenic activities. This contributed to a deeper understanding of gully pot function and informed more effective maintenance and waste management practices.
In his current postdoctoral position within the DRIZZLE project, Haoyu continues to develop integrated approaches for managing stormwater in urban environments. His ongoing research contributions span several collaborative projects that collectively tackle key challenges in stormwater management—from pollutant transport and sediment toxicity to source control and mitigation strategies.
